Hi Joel,
I have done this as me (i.e., peb not root), followed by
./configure --prefix/tmp --disable-device-mapper; make
because we don't have libdevmapper (neither need nor want it).
As a consequence I got /tmp/bin/{disk,label} and /tmp/sbin/part{ed,probe}
Can you please paste the output of the following set of commands:
<snip>
dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=512c count=100
echo n | sudo /usr/local/sbin/parted ---pretend-input-tty testfile "mklabel gpt
mkpart pirmary ext3 1 -1"
</snip>
Then, as root:
dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=512c count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
51200 bytes (51 kB) copied, 0.000194 s, 264 MB/s
echo n | /tmp/sbin/parted ---pretend-input-tty testfile \
"mklabel gpt mkpart pirmary ext3 1 -1"
Error: Can't have the end before the start!
Hope that helps
Regards
Peter
